POS Suggests Pilots are Way Forward for 'Stepping Onto the Housing Ladder' Proposals

Sara Whelan, Society Policy officer, said "Although POS agrees with the principle behind supporting first time buyers in their 20s and 30s onto the housing ladder, we have serious concerns regarding the proposals as set out in the consultation document. On this basis, and, taking into account some of the practicalities that the consultation document itself identifies, POS would strongly suggest that the proposal is tested through the use of pilots."

Whelan continued "This would help to better understand any practical challenges and potential ways of resolving these."
